Galicia Primary Care Strike Still On as Unions Reject Sergas’ Limited Offer

Unions demand concrete guarantees on dismantling the FEAP category before calling off the stoppage.

Overview

  • Walkouts remain scheduled for November 26, with CIG, Simega and O’Mega extending the strike to November 27 and 28.
  • Sergas withdrew its October 17 proposal and tabled new measures, including home-care transport consolidation, PAC overtime pay, alignment of complementary nursing hours, a cut in the incentivized PAC complement from 160 to 140 hours, and a higher PAC meal allowance.
  • Union leaders call the advances minimal and insist on eliminating or converting FEAP posts and securing a binding human-resources plan.
  • The next negotiating session is set for Friday, November 21, focused on PAC working time, with Sergas conditioning implementation timelines on an agreement to end the strike.
  • Health chief Antonio Gómez Caamaño urges flexibility to avert stoppages during peak respiratory pressure, while primary care societies back the protests and criticize FEAP.
